The annual physical book
A year of discovery.
A book to keep.
Standout research. Handpicked images.
The field, brought into focus.
Our planned annual volume brings together selected articles and research from the year with exceptional photography and images from across frontier medicine.
Generous photography, thoughtful sequencing and careful design give form to the field’s many settings, discoveries and human experiences. A physical book for the coffee table, the library and repeated reading.
We invite photography and image contributions for consideration in the book, including work submitted independently of a research manuscript.
